NR - This is a weird one bc I didn't even have them ranked last week and now I have to reconcile their position with Georgia and FSU. I ended up going with Bama here one spot above Georgia since they are teams on par with each other obv and my opinion on Georgia is they are a team at minimum around the top 10, so they ended up at 11. |

NR - idk what to do with this one tbh. They lost by a million so I kind of don't feel like they deserve to be ranked based on that alone, but they turned around and beat USC who I was pretty high on. They earned their place back but it's on thin ice for me |

-2 - I had originally dropped them out of the rankings because I had them at 23 and they lost but as I rebuilt my top 25 I ended up with a choice between Miss St and Arizona St and went with the head-to-head winner |
